DESTINATION

Morgan City

On the banks of the Atchafalaya River, Morgan City once called itself the Jumbo Shrimp Capital of the World. But since offshore oil was discovered in 1947, the petroleum industry has far surpassed the shrimp market in economic importance. Morgan City annually celebrates both industries with its Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival during Labor Day weekend.
